Abstract

Background:

There is a need for improved predictability in cataract surgery. The aim of this study was to investigate whether implantation of intraocular lenses (IOLs) with accurately labeled dioptric power could improve the postoperative results and allow better predictability.

Patients And Methods:

113 eyes were implanted with Crystal Evolution® (MTO) IOLs and 261 eyes with AF-1 iMics1® (Hoya) IOLs. The predictability of the postoperative spherical equivalence (SE) and the best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were compared between both groups. The predictability was also compared to 2 previous studies.

Results:

With Crystal Evolution®, the predictability was significantly better than with AF-1 iMics1® (p<0.0001). The results were also better than those described in the 2 studies. Although the BCVA obtained with Crystal Evolution® were better than with AF-1 iMics1®, the difference were not significant.

Conclusions:

Our data indicate that accurate dioptric labeling of IOLs may improve the postoperative refraction outcome.

Focusing of Light in the Eye

Focusing of Light in the Eye

Light rays enter the eye through the cornea, a transparent dome-shaped tissue that is the eye's outermost layer. The cornea bends or refracts, light rays traveling to the pupil. The shape of the cornea determines how much of the light is bent and whether the image will be focused correctly on the retina at the back of the eye. Once the light has passed through both refraction layers, it converges into a single focal point onto a small area. This is where photoreceptors start transforming...

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

Angle Closure Glaucoma: Treatment

Angle-closure glaucoma, or closed-angle glaucoma, is an eye condition where the iris bulges out and blocks the iridocorneal angle, resulting in a buildup of aqueous humor and increased intraocular pressure. Immediate medical attention is necessary due to the sudden onset of symptoms. The treatment for angle-closure glaucoma includes short-term and long-term approaches. Short-term treatment involves using eye drops like pilocarpine to lower intraocular pressure by increasing aqueous humor...

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

Open Angle Glaucoma: Treatment

In open-angle glaucoma, the iridocorneal angle remains open, but the trabecular meshwork becomes stiff, slowing down the outflow of aqueous humor. This causes a buildup of aqueous humor in the anterior chamber, leading to a sudden increase in intraocular pressure. The treatment for open-angle glaucoma focuses on reducing the elevated intraocular pressure by either decreasing the secretion of aqueous humor or increasing its outflow.
